Britain’s Got Talent finalist, Kate Nicholson has admitted that she and her dog Gin have been shunned by other dog trainers after their success on the show.

“We’re not really welcome in the doggy dancing world any more,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “The people who have been doing it for years don’t like what has happened to us. I think there is an element of jealousy there. You see, some of them auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent, too.

“I think people don’t like us because Gin and I have won every competition we’ve ever entered. Some people have trouble with that. Then we went on television, and that rubbed salt in the wounds. But really, it’s about more than just us. They don’t want newcomers at all. I’m the opposite. I think that whole world should be opened up, so people can see there is nothing weird about it. It is just really good fun.”
